How does Caller ID on iOS work?

If you’re a Truecaller user using an iPhone, and you receive a phone call from another Truecaller user (whether they’re a contact of yours or not), you’ll get a live Caller ID notice on your phone.

This new feature will only work for calls from Truecaller user to Truecaller user using the latest version of Truecaller for Android and iPhone.

If calling iPhone to iPhone, the caller needs to initiate the call from the Truecaller app to trigger the Caller ID for the recipient. Both parties do need to have a 3G, 4G or strong WiFi connection and the latest Truecaller version.

Please note: If you force-quit Truecaller, the live Caller ID will stop working. So make sure you keep it up and running at all times.

Due to the limitations of iOS, the live Caller ID on iPhone is a work in progress, which we’ll continue to make improvements to the Caller ID in the coming weeks. As more and more users install Truecaller, you’ll see fewer and fewer unknown calls.
